At what angle does a diffraction grating produce a second-order maximum for light having a first-order maximum at 20.0 degrees?

Answer:

At 43.2°.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the angle we need to use the following equation:

d*sin(\theta) = m\lambda

Where:

d: is the separation of the grating

m: is the order of the maximum

λ: is the wavelength

θ: is the angle              

At the first-order maximum (m=1) at 20.0 degrees we have:

\frac{\lambda}{d} = \frac{sin(\theta)}{m} = \frac{sin(20.0)}{1} = 0.342

Now, to produce a second-order maximum (m=2) the angle must be:

sin(\theta) = \frac{\lambda}{d}*m

\theta = arcsin(\frac{\lambda}{d}*m) = arcsin(0.342*2) = 43.2 ^{\circ}

Therefore, the diffraction grating will produce a second-order maximum for the light at 43.2°.    

I hope it helps you!

Hb=3.5, hd=2.25, hb+hd=7, 

From the third, we can say hb=7-hd and we are told that:

3.5hb+2.25hd=19.5  using hb found above in this equation gives you:

3.5(7-hd)+2.25hd=19.5

24.5-3.5hd+2.25hd=19.5

-1.25hd=-5

hd=4

Carmen bought 4 hotdogs.

Slow boat travels to a speed of 17.25 miles per hour for 200 hours how far was the voyage
goblinko [34]

Answer:

The voyage was 3450 miles far away.

Step-by-step explanation:

Distance covered per hour = 17.25 miles

As the boat traveled 200 hours to reach the destination.

1 hour = 17.25 miles

Thus,

200 hours = 200 (17.25)

                  = 3450 miles

Thus, the boat had to travel 3450 miles in 200 hours to reach the destination. Therefore, the voyage was 3450 miles far away.
